Dr. rer. nat. Stefan Heldmann from the Institute of Mathematics is awarded the Heinrich Draeger Research Award 2009. He receives it for his scientific publication "Adaptive mesh refinement for nonparametric image registration" in the prestigious Journal of Scientific Computing of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics SIAM (Vol. 30, No. 6, pp. 3012-3027).
The Heinrich Draeger Research Award was established in 2004 by the Dräger family and Drägerwerk AG on the initiative of Mrs. Lisa Dräger. Once a year, the University of Luebeck awards this prize in recognition of a particularly outstanding scientific publication based on results that were primarily generated at the university. The prize is awarded alternately to scientists from the STEM and Medicine faculties.
